Diana Walker’s final image of Steve Jobs, at his home office in December 2004.

Steve Jobs was a man of motion. Whether through his determination to bring the most practical and stylish innovations to consumers or his drive to just make the world an easier place to live in, the former Apple CEO always seemed to be on the move. Which made him the perfect person to photograph.

The tech innovator, who passed away on Wednesday after losing a seven-year battle with pancreatic cancer, is being remembered by photographers who had the chance to capture his ingenuity on film.

Says Time Magazine photographer Diana Walker:

“I first met Steve Jobs on a photo shoot for TIME in 1982. I had no idea that he was going to be my friend or that he was going to be this incredible genius — a part of all our lives, in what we do and what we see. He was speaking to a group of Stanford students in a dorm living room, and it was hard to photograph him there and not be in the way. You had to have light, and I was creeping around. But he was game. I asked him to stand on top of an Apple sign, and he did it. I asked him to stand in front of an Apple cutout (which ended up on the cover of Fortune magazine), and he did that too. I thought, This is you. This is who you are.”

Walker added, “He was so much fun because he was so quick — he was such a fast study. You showed him anything and he could get it in a second. I was always fascinated by his design sense. It was wonderful because he liked my pictures.”

Photographer Peter Stember also had the opportunity to photograph Jobs during his early days at Apple.

“He was absolutely different,” Stember told Forbes of a shoot he did with Jobs at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, Ca., in the early ’80s. “It was like being in an art class. I have 2 or 3 sheets of pictures of him I took of him with the Macintosh development team, his inner circle.  …  It was like a rock band. Baggy t shirts, holey jeans, sitting around on floors. It could go well into the night. … It was almost like a cult. Everybody looked up to him. He was the guy that steered the ship.”

Yet one of the most enduring images of Jobs could be a more recent creation. The image below was created by Hong Kong photographer Jonathan Mak, a fitting tribute to Jobs that finds him filling the empty space in Apple’s iconic logo.
